About This Home
As of March 2025Exceptional Lakefront Estate in Exclusive Ashley Harbor: Nestled in the highly sought-after, guard-gated community of Ashley Harbor, this stunning estate offers privacy, luxury, and breathtaking lakefront views. Set on one of the largest lots in the neighborhood, the property boasts lush, mature landscaping, a new dock, and serene lake access--all framed by towering grand oak trees. This completely transformed masterpiece features over 4,400 sq. ft. of living space, with 4 bedrooms plus a bonus room, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths on 3/4 of an acre. Enter through a charming brick paver walkway to a welcoming front porch, where you're greeted by soaring cathedral ceilings and impeccable craftsmanship. The home showcases elegant 7.5'' Chesapeake hardwood floors, a strikingfloor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, polished nickel hardware, and an abundance of natural light.
The expansive chef's kitchen is a showstopper, offering stunning lake views, a large island with built-in banquette seating, farmhouse sink flanked by dual dishwashers, prep sink, and exquisite Calacatta Gold Storm quartz countertops. An attached walk-in pantry features built-in microwave and additional storage, and a 48" Thermador gas range with double ovens makes this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful.
One end of the main level features a gorgeous and spacious owner's suite with a stunning custom bathroom and walk-in closet, an attached deck, and private access to the office. The other end of the main level has a powder room, large laundry room with stop-n-drop, sink and fridge hookups, and access to the 2-car garage with attached workshop. Enjoy year-round outdoor living in the bright, airy sunroom, or head outside to the expansive stone patio and new dock for lakeside relaxation.
Upstairs, a second primary ensuite offers a beautifully designed bathroom, large closet, and private access to a balcony overlooking the lake. Also featuring two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. Across the landing, a large bonus room above the garage provides nearly 1,000 sq. ft. of flexible space, ideal for a media room, playroom, or additional bedrooms.
The outdoor space is an absolute highlight, with a spacious deck extending across the entire second floor, perfect for enjoying the picturesque landscaping and tranquil lake views. Neighborhood amenities include tennis courts, a playground, kayak launches, trails, and convenient boat storage and community boat ramp provides quick access to the Ashley River, just a short golf cart ride away.
Originally built in the mid-1980s, this solid built custom home was owned by the original family until it just recently was lovingly transformed by a local renovation company in 2024. This home offers the rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind estate in a private, tranquil setting while being just 10 minutes from downtown Charleston and the Charleston International Airport. Located within the Orange Grove Charter school preferred district, this home provides unparalleled luxury living with easy access to everything West Ashley has to offer.
